What the hell is up with McDonalds and theirspicy chicken wrap commercials! They are all latino themed! I enjoy spicey foods and I'm full blooded Caucasian. I am HIGHLY offended by McDonalds' lastest advertising campaign, and I will NO LONGER support this RACIST company with my hard earned dollars! Let's also not forget how they stereotype blacks rollerskating and talking slang. I'm sure that's not all they do!

DOWN WITH RACIST FAST FOOD COMPANIES! :evil:

As a latino I will say only this...lighten up dude. Cajuns enjoy spicy food and anything Cajun themed usually gets the stereotypical music in the background...they don't seem to care.

You want racist food companies? Look up the history of some fried chicken chains in this country...

As a latino, I'm not all that offended by it.. they're trying to market to those who would eat spicy food. Yes, there are plenty of different cultures that enjoy spicy food, but it's a specific market that they are trying to exploit so it makes sense that they add in the latino theme. Why add in.. eskimos.. if they are trying to exploit the (large) latino market?

What about the blacks that are depicted as criminals, or slobs? What about Italians? Whites aren't the only ones being mocked.

Italians are usually depicted as mobsters and criminals. There was quite a bit of backlash from the Italian community a couple of years ago regarding their image in Hollywood.

Whitie? Now THAT is racist! How would you feel if I called you "spic"? Or "wetback?" Look, I may have overreacted, but there's no reason to reply to me with a racial slur.

They're not assuming that only latinos like spicy food, they're marketing to that specific demographic. Stop putting your own biased messages in their commercials.

I still support McDonald's because I like their food, I could care less about their ad campaign or the service as long as my food is correct and it tastes good.

Not really. Being racist means that you're either scared of the race you have a problem with, or just hate them. I'm not afraid of Latinos, nor do I hate them. What I take offense to is the fact that I've seen two of these spicey chicken wrap commercials filled with Latinos, like you have to be Latino to enjoy this particular food item. It just doesn't send across a good message. Why can't McDonalds show a different race enjoying the same food as well?

whats the difference? no matter what race you have in the commerials someone is gonna be mad. raceism is not about hate or fear. to me racism is anything involving singling out of a particular human. you dont have to be mean to be a racist. we are all human. and lets face it. someone had to eat that mcdonalds

No, you seriously shut up. You're pissing me off right now. So the commercial may have some racial stereotypes but there's no reason you should be offended....cuz your white. Even if someone was latino, they shouldnt be offended. NO ONE should be offended but a ****ing McDonalds commercial.
